Took mine out the garage for a wash after rebuilding it over the last 8 months, turning it fromto this,

Change the tensioner and belt, and test drive it upto temp. Hopefully doesn’t over pressure the cooling system. Likelihood is head warped if driven for long without coolant though.

Might also be one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394294827529?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gnvCGhCvRzm&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=GrrGYAMmQ8i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Have the egr’s mapped out. The fault code will still show in diagnostic tests but won’t trigger limp mode. Earlier D3’s didn’t need the mapping done.

I’m here been in the show today. Will be in tomorrow, recognisable as I’ll have a brown and black Doberman with me.

Maybe not but it’s what a lot are probably thinking. Why don’t you go and fix it then!!

24 posts in 14 years, I think 4 on this thread. You may well have vertigo but not put a lot into the forum

If it’s the older type they usually have a small screw at the rear

I hated the new defender when seeing the pictures leaked during its development through to its launch, but as time gone on it’s grown on me to the point that the Discovery 5 is going and I collect a new 110 towards the end of July.

There’s a valve in the expansion tank cap which are known to fail on td5, a new cap ain’t expensive so worth changing it.

Don’t know if relevant but D3 has similar issues when torque converter is failing.

Failing clutch switch

You can if you loosen the bolts so you can turn with your fingers, then cut head of bolt with hacksaw then unwind rest of way out. The bolts are 25mm and it’s the bolt head that stops it coming out as it fouls on the housing. On reassembly swop bolts for 20mm ones then you never have problems again

Diesel Bob just completely refurbished my 200tdi pump for £402 inc vat. Didn’t think that was expensive

Already removed the sump, to re seal, that when I found them. No pieces of metal though, thankfully

So what in terms of damage will/has it done? Car runs fine doesn’t appear damaged.

Around the size of the old half penny

Thanks. Didn’t think anyone would notice I’d snuck back in.

I’ve. Had both set ups, Detroit in the rear of my 110 with true trac in the front, it went everywhere fully locked vehicles went. Downside is on the road the Detroit has to unlock itself on corners to avoid tyre skipping as on wheel turns faster than the other. Back on the straight it locks...
